When and where do I pay the tuition bill?

Tuition is paid as soon as you receive your bill, which is one week after registration. Tuition bills must be paid at the Bursar's Office or online. Checks are made payable to "NJIT."

Tuition can be paid by check, demand draft, money order, credit card, or cash. NJIT accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover cards.

Can I pay tuition in two installments?

Yes, by arrangement with Ms. Frances Begg in the Bursar's Office. You will pay one half by the due date plus $50.00, and the balance is due 8 weeks later.

How much will tuition be in Fall 2008?

The tuition and fees for January to May 2008 for a required full time course load were approximately $10,263.00 for graduates and $10,447.00 for undergraduates, (the cost of textbooks not included). For those receiving financial support from NJIT, the award will cover tuition only. It is the responsibility of the student to pay the remaining fees. Students will be billed within two weeks of registration for classes.

The actual tuition for 2008-9 will increase between 5-8% and will be finalized in late July 2008.

Can I be met at Newark Liberty International Airport?

Yes. There is no charge for the service, which is provided by NJIT graduate students. Please provide the following information by e-mail to international.students@njit.edu:

• Full Name
• Student ID
• Gender
• Major
• Country of Origin
• Flight No. (Of the flight reaching Newark, New Jersey. Sometimes, there is a break in international flights. We need the flight no. of the second leg. For e.g., if you are flying Beijing-Paris-Newark, we need the flight no. for Paris-Newark leg)

You will be driven to NJIT, or either the Robert Treat Hotel, Newark or the YMWCA, Newark. We cannot take you to other destinations.

If I cannot attend the mandatory August 2008 orientation due to a late flight from my country, can I still attend NJIT in September 2008?

Yes. However, please be aware that a late arrival can often create initial challenges for you. For example, you may still be searching for accommodations when classes start, or you may not get all the classes you want as some classes may already be filled at the time you register. You will be asked to attend an orientation upon arrival.
